On the night of the 24th/25th February 1942 the city of Los Angeles was woken to the sound of anti-aircraft fire as the defences of the city responded to an incursion of what was believed to be Japanese aircraft. (See: Wikipedia Article: Battle of Los Angeles).
I'm now interested in working out all of the plausible scenarios that would lead to a Japanese strike on Los Angeles during late February 1942.
Size, can range from a 'maximum' effort carrier strike such as that used in the raid on Pearl Harbour all the way down to a few seaplanes launched from subs.
